Children’s Lip Gloss Making Workshop – Saturday, 19 September 2026

R385

A fun, hands-on cosmetic formulation experience designed especially for children aged 6–12. Children will explore the connection between Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and creativity while making their own lip glosses using lip-safe cosmetic ingredients. Each child will make 3 lip glosses, experiment with colours and flavours, decorate one lip gloss tube with a charm, and label their creation to take home. The session is facilitated by a scientist and qualified biotechnologist, giving children the opportunity to learn about measurement, ingredients, mixing and formulation while expressing their creativity.

  • One lip gloss tube to decorate with a charm
